How long since a tune-up? Any applicable trouble codes? You should be able to check mil codes, yourself. You use a jumper wire between the A & B terminals at the data link connector. Then, you turn the key, just till the dash lites come on, no further. The mil on the dash starts flashing, you count the flashes to get the codes.

What led you to change the maf sensor?
